Russia's Invasion Of Asiatic Market Smashes Oil Price SHANGHAI P A three-cornered fight among American, British and Russian oil interests has driven prices down to half of what they were a few months ago. , Until recently the occidental com panies controlled the oriental mar ket, but when the soviet "United Petroleum Trust" began to pour kerosene and gasoline Into China, Japan and Manchuria conditions changed quickly. - The Russians now are said to have captured a third of the trade and the western companies are on the war path. Champions of American and Brit ish oils say their companies will cut prices until the Russians are brought to their knees. But the invaders say they are far better equipped, for such a war than their opponents. Both the Chinese and Japanese governments are reported to be as sisting the Russian interests. In China a private- oil company has been formed. It Is said to be, in reality, the Nanking government gone into the oil business. If that Is true It has a big advantage in being able to avoid the heavy im port duties. 1 Japan nlso Is reported to be handl ing the Russian products through a supposedly private company. g 3 MlM UCM Duk.

His itinerary took him through the Redwood forest, San Francisco, Los Angeles ("where we spent five hours finding a way to get out of Hollywood"), Las Vegas, Nev- i, ("temperature over 116 degrees all the time") Boulder Dam, Chicago (tho World's Pair), Washington, D. C New York City, Niagara Palls, and" returned via the northern route com ing through North Dakota where they found "grasshoppers, bad water, andi electric storms."
